    good game. he has the tools

    needs to watch film and just let it fly when he catches it

    Mostly a confidence issue and not being coached personally like he should be

    Needs to replicate what his brotha cam spencer did

    If anyone’s selling, I’m still buying Sheppard stock.

    My gripe is not that he is short or defensively challenged but that he is such a slow guy for being 21 yr old......

    You know he loves basketball but you cannot spot big passion here.

    Slow? Speed wise or action wise?
    He is far from physically slow

    If he keeps playing well and improving, I don't see us trading him this season. It just wouldn't make any sense.

    He is just not exciting for me when his shot is not on.....he dribbles in slow motion for me lol.

    You could call him Kyle Anderson 2.0......

    His pace is methodical for sure. But he’s not physically slow.
    I think his handle has to improve

    He makes good decisions relative to his experience.

    Hits the three and shoots quick.

    elite defensive hands. 1.5 years and we are building around

    Good game tonight. I’m seeing progress. He deserves credit for staying in front of Morant. There are going to be some teams that give him issues.

    Ime doesn't seem to know what to do with him.....

    FVV is a different type of player, Reed needs to be with better PG skill people ...like Nash and CP3, he has way better vision already than Fred.

    I really focused on just watching Reed today when he was on the court. Helps that the Rockets had a decent lead the whole time so wasn't that worried about a loss. Pleased with his offensive performance, but also his defense really needs work. Memphis was getting to the basket a lot more often once he checked and there just wasn't much resistance whenever the man he guards has the ball. Overall more optimistic than pessimistic on him going forward. But the defensive issues are a concern.

    Watch quicker guards when they got blown by, they can recover like a Cason Wallace for example.

    That'd allow them to gamble more on steals.

    Not sure exactly what you've been watching. He's not Amen but he definitely isn't slow

    He is slow to move laterally and always gets blown by opponents.
